Date::Convert::French_Rev - Jean Forget Date conversion using the French Revolutionary calendar. This module is a add-on to Mordechai Abzug's Date::Convert module. Since his module is pre-alpha, mine is, too. Another consequence is that this module allows you to convert from or to any calendar implemented in Date::Convert. These calendars are currently Gregorian, Julian, Hebrew and absolute (which is Julian Day Number, with midnight-to-midnight days instead of noon-to-noon). This module allows you to pretty-print French Revolutionary dates. You can use this module even if you do not have Perl on your computer. See the alternate install procedure below. REQUIREMENTS Date::Convert, by Mordechai Abzug (MORTY) Roman, by OZAWA Sakuro (OZAWA) INSTALL First intall Roman.pm and Date::Convert.pm, and then install the normal way: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install Note: if "make test" give you a "dubious" result, one possibility is that you have forgotten to install Roman.pm. I know, it happened to me! ALTERNATE INSTALL This module can be installed on a perl-less computer! All you need, on this computer, is: - tar and gzip, or compatible software - a table-aware HTML browser (no Internet connection required if you downloaded the archive from a local network or a CD-ROM) - a printer. The installation steps are: - Gunzip and untar the archive. - Go to the eg/result subdirectory. - Open the various files ending in "en.html" (or, if you are a French-speaker, ending in "fr.html") with the HTML browser. - Print them. That's all! Copyright (c) 2001-2002 Jean Forget. All rights reserved. This program is free software.
